We were talking today. We were discussing a situation with the "female" tenant here for over an hour... Then we just started talking about things in general..... and then AJ said he feels so empty inside and all he sees is the negative things in his life.....He said he isn't doing what he is supposed to be doing with his life... He said he needs to go to work..And he said he is holding himself back . because of the negative thinking.....I mentioned that maybe he is depressed...

This is when he started to cry... My heart ached for him.....I told him I think what he is describing, the empty feeling, the negative thoughts and the over sleeping could be depression.... That we should check into counseling for him to see what is actually going on......And he agreed.........

I am thinking depression is the problem here...So we decided that tomorrow the first step was to give the female tenant 30 days notice, the reason is because she is involved in things that he does not want in the house...or be around............ and the second step is to find a counselor....

Sooooooooooo a counselor search.... I mentioned I'd look for some names but he will decide who he will see.......I need to do some reading now on how to find a good therapist.......Oh I don't want to go through what we did when he was in grade school..as in the "not qualified counselor"... I must be strong now......And not let my negative thoughts from the past therapy grab hold.....We will find a good, qualified counselor that will be helpful for AJ..........inside how pathetic this is, i am scared.....I will not let AJ know or see my fear...... It will all be good............I won't screw things up now....... AJ is far more important than anything............This is for him...... Thumbs up for AJ for wanting to take that leap into therapy..........
